Lets get smart
These guys have spent a lot on this ad I reckon:
and they have a, errm, really cool company name:
But I am not sure they want networking people or not:
Actually the page was hoplessly formatted and riddled with other spelling mistakes. However, these things happen. I recall working at Easynet and we had a product called Easynet Everywhere and took a full page colour advert in an Internet magazine. Only trouble is the "y" was missing from Everywhere and nobody noticed when doing the proof reading.
Worse than that was back in the very early days of Internet access when I was at Demon, we used to print a covering letter to go with the marketing literature. In that letter we covered a number of aspects of what the Internet could provide including all the Public Domain material. Unfortunately, we missed the "l" in public out and, being a correct word, this wasn't picked up by the spell-checker. I think it wasn't noticed for several months.
I could go on...
